If you're anything like us, you don't appreciate people touching your good controller. You've got yours, and then you've got something for guests with dirty fingernails and fingertips slick from a grilled cheese. So, if you want a buffer between yourself and their germs, you can pre-order a separate DualShock 4 at Amazon now.

Like the PS4's improved Eye camera, the DualShock 4 will set you back about $60, tax excluded. A tentative ship date of December 31, 2013 is present on the Amazon listing, but that'll likely change once Sony announces the PS4 launch date beyond the earmarked "Holiday 2013."

The DualShock 4 is the latest iteration of Sony's PlayStation controller design and includes a built-in light bar, front-facing touch pad, speaker and a share button that will drive live broadcasting of PS4 games.
